FEMA’s Fake News Conference Nothing New for Bush Administration

Earlier this week FEMA held a news conference about the California fires that “looked like a success in the Bush administration’s effort this week to demonstrate it could respond competently to a disaster”

At a follow-up news conference, Press Secretary Dana Perino feigned unhappiness and anger at FEMA’s fake news conference. “It is not a practice that we would employ here at the White House” said Perino. “It’s not something I would have condoned.”

Gannon first gained national attention during a presidential press conference on January 26, 2005, in which he asked United States President George W. Bush a question that some in the press corps considered “so friendly it might have been planted.”
